ChatGPT is down globally for all users. The service went offline abruptly at around 1:00 PM IST. Thousands of users, including paying subscribers, are unable to use ChatGPT. OpenAI, the company behind the chatbot, is aware of the issue and is currently investigating the situation.
The official ChatGPT website is not responding to input. Some users cannot access the site on their browsers, while others are facing Bad Gateway and Error 502 issues while trying to load the site. The official ChatGPT apps on Android and iOS platforms are also down.
Downdetector is also showing a surge in complaints. Over 2500 users have reported issues related to ChatGPT on the website. OpenAI’s status portal also indicates that ChatGPT is facing unresolved issues. The company is working to get the service back online as soon as possible.
Apart from ChatGPT, other OpenAI services appear functional, such as their APIs, Labs, and Playground. Hence, there are some minor technical issues only at ChatGPT. We can expect the services of the chatbot to be restored soon
The downtime occurs during the integration of GPT-4o in ChatGPT. This new AI model offers powerful translation features and faster and more contextual responses. OpenAI made it available to all ChatGPT free users.
Meanwhile, users can try alternative AI chatbots like Google Gemini, Perplexity AI, Claude, Meta AI, and Ola Krutim. These chatbots offer functionality similar to ChatGPT, where you can get relevant answers to any query. They can be accessed for free by creating a new account using your email ID or phone number.
